@CantCookStillTry IGBF ? there is one more def. I found on Google I assume its that one but I'll let you find that one yourselves this is a Family Forum sometimes

remember just asking all cans might be the same now \Ill go organic , diced or crushed TJ's has no-salt added diced g00d enough for my project.

just saying OK dont spill it !

just don't drop it

9 " seal bar , 12 " total \you will get used to it ! call them 661-332-5631 they might have some 9" on back order you will do fine w 8 " until then cheers

of course if you choose to put cheese on your Dog I cant help you this happened once in my Culinary Carrer I was 6 y.o. grilled I was sick for two days [ed.: probably not the Dog nor the Cheese . Kraft Slices ?] just Times Gone By

@heidih a 'dog' is such a personal item enjoy!

Ive got Brain Energy to spare just not so much Fond Im more interesting while still ' capable ' about the two types of cans. but your are correct : getting something done now might be more important after all when i go to get m Flu Shot there will be a lot of Seniors right there Amazon ( JB ) should allow me , or you get get these essential longevity items via subscribe and save to bad JB and EM have some sort of Gonadal problem w The Moon and The Mars

@heidih I understand this completely : consider torching the Dogs after the Micro w a ' torch ' dont use your GrandMa's chine for this keep the torch not as close as you thing if you like toasted generic buns , fine I like mired ( steam'd ) buns , and the micro does this fine the rest you put on this deliciousness is up to you but simple stuff ' Before ' is so much more tasty now.

Ive started this here as its about The Can itself. some time ago , maybe a good while TestKitchen ( my personal BetNoir ) in a show suggested , that for tomatoes Organic tomato cans ( they looked back then a little brassy or goldie on the surface ) vs non-organic ( silver-ish ) gave the tomato dans le can a better tomato ( think your garden ) favor(u)r I recall , distantly that I saw this idea again now : Im not interested in Organic for Health reasons just the Can for tomatoes ( acidic ? ) does this matter for flavor ? or you know ATK ? why am I asking ? I plan , after a few naps , to make either from a Jar ( crushed tomatoes , not from tomatoes paste ) or a can of ?? organic ' paste ' tomatoes and male "" Meat Balls " SV'dish Target has crushed tomatoes , well reviewed but they wont ship them to me, so , have your read , or understand the differences in Organic and (n) organic cans re flavour ? Tj's has some Organic crushed tomatoes I might just go that way TJ's has a lot of jared tomato sauce Im not sure if any of them start w ' crushed tomatoes " Rao jared sauce deos do this but that's not they way I choose to go just yet thank you its about the can some time ago ion a jared sauce thread it was pointed out I could easily make Rao w canned plum tomaotes so its about that thread which I cant just now cheers """ Happy Cooking !

@Darienne look into Ken-Ken http://www.kenkenpuzzle.com/# zillion skill levels.

@Kim Shook I wouldn't go searching around ( these days ) for RB-40 ThaiKitchen will be fine but if you see bottle , fairly priced ( ie not @ whole foods ) snap one up. it lasts a long long time and is worth it.

@md8232 I get all my bags here : https://vacuumsealersunlimited.com free shipping on many of the 3-MIL bags https://vacuumsealersunlimited.com/product-category/commercial-chamber-vacuum-sealer-bags-pouches/3-mil-chamber-bags/ its not a mistake to get 1,000 in two sizes ( w free shipping ) seems like a lot , but Life is Long. I use 8 x 10 , and 10 x 13 there are other sizes , like 8 x 12, etc but if they are not listed on this site , they are just out of them temporarily. very nice people. Ive called them several times about ' this and that ' free shipping is significant , as 1,000 bags of 10 x 13 is pretty heavy. I cut down the larger bags sometimes for smaller work. I dont know the width of your sealing bar keep that in mind if you cut down a bag and plan to re-seal that edge as chamber bags are so cheap , I now Vac. Penzey's larger bags of dried herbs , and many of their spice blends. they stay much fresher , and blends w sugar do not absorb moisture and do not cake up. I love Bell's Poulty seasoning. it goes on sale a few weeks before thanks giving. it powdered and fresher at that time of the year I bag several boxes and put the vac's bags in my freezer and I get better results over the year(s) that way. that stuff sits on the self at a grocery store a long long time it seems also, if there is some ' head space ' on your vac'd items I open that bag up , take out what I need , and re-seal that same bag that's a 4 cent saving right there ! I do this w my home roasted coffee : as soon as a roast is cool , I vac bag the next day there is some CO2 in the bag ( normal ) I just snip the top off and reseal. I take out a few days worth of coffee and reseal that same bag again etc

Red Boat 40 https://www.amazon.com/Red-Boat-Fish-Sauce-2-250/dp/B0037J1YO2 Tj's has it @ 50 % less than WholeFoods ! any good fish sauce will do . but be very very careful with it : you drop a glass jar of this stuff in your kitchen , you will be moving to Alaska !

I also use RB-40 in place of anchovies if I open a can of A's , they never get used. it just gets the job done. I cook a 1-minute egg , out of the refrigerator into simmering water , then rinse in cold water to handle , and use that egg being careful to scrape out all the solids that cling to the shell.

and survived to tell the tail ! sorry , tale.

@Anna N thank you for the reference . enjoyed that vid , and a few others linked on the R esp one on chicken from the Wolfe Pit. pies contain Margarine ! and apparently the soggy ' under crust ' is " highly prized ' I believe it ! now if Amazon would sell me a few of these of different fillings ( there is a Steak and Ale ! ) w free shipping ie 2 pies for 9 USD well , that would give me something to do every few weeks ( 2.6 grams of NaCL / pie ! )

Amazon reviews are not very encouraging , even if they had free shipping : a 3 star out of 5 review : guess I lucked out !

and there is : https://www.amazon.com/Fray-Bentos-Minced-Beef-Onion/dp/B00Y2WYAMQ/ref=pd_bxgy_2/131-5570512-5638352?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00Y2WYAMQ&pd_rd_r=9fa70e6c-f644-4f5d-a355-fe8b21d8b6f6&pd_rd_w=FCIWD&pd_rd_wg=LEvOR&pf_rd_p=ce6c479b-ef53-49a6-845b-bbbf35c28dd3&pf_rd_r=84SND97MGWTNSMVVAZ3A&psc=1&refRID=84SND97MGWTNSMVVAZ3A both are in my Shopping Cart ! and one w just chicken ! Ooooops : delivery is not free , it more than doubles the price its not going to be that tasty did get a month of A-Prime free , but w an empty cart. *** sigh **** now I have to remember to cancel A-Prime in 30 days ! there's always something .....

@Margaret Pilgrim wow , what fine looking chops ! they are Talking to Me ! @AlaMoi grass fed beef is mighty fine SV'd at least initially you can brown after cooking. use as low a temp as you can stand Im wondering if Heritage pork would also benefit w a swim in the SV bath. and then there is Heritage Turkey : https://www.marysturkeys.com

@CantCookStillTry wow Id love to try one of those canned pies ! do you take off the lid and bake it in the bottom , so it rises ? I can see your fascination w it . I would have been fascinated too !

im very uneasy going to the supermarket. there is a RocheBro near by https://www.rochebros.com and a TJ's not that far away. both have early senior hours and very well run. Monday @ RB 7 am Ive been the first in w no one behind me , and out in 6 - 7 minutes. Paradise ( not ) Lost TJ's is 8 am , and two or three ahead of me. Ill go next Tues. as my Wine Buds are there then , and have a few cases already stacked for me right by my personal check out lane. its not really rpersonally mine , but one WineBud is ready w the " stack " and one ready to ring them up. Im very fortunate to still be able to get my table wines from them one of which comes from FR. Im sure when they run out of it, there wont be any more for quite some time. TJ's has some very tasty prepared food. I would be able to cook close to a few of these items myself w all the ingredients , others I might surpass if I took this on but , through experience and TradeSchool Id be very unhappy if I get The C19. that's my excuse., but my attention span was waning well before C19. but I have a theory about this , and it comes from my understanding of Polio : also known as poliomyelitis : https://www.who.int/health-topics/poliomyelitis#tab=tab_1 Im old enough to have been vaccinated via an intial injection , and later a coated sugar cube. Ive also taken care of adults older than I am , in a children's hospital , as it was the only place that could dust off " Iron Lungs " the theory at that time was that physical therapy would help re-inervate the muscles. over time , a long time , it came to be thought that muscles only had so many contractions in them over their life time, no matter what. so , over one's lifetime , there are only so many meals you can make. that's my theory. pretty Odd , no ? maybe Meals-Making re-generates after some rest and recoup-ing. I hope so.

Wine Helps. More Wine Helps More. one of my favorite soups is Bean w Bacon . Campbells makes a very decent version , and I add in granulated garlic and onion and Spanish Smoked Paprica ( all from Penzey's ) granulated is not powdered . and use a hand masher to get it more on the creamy side. Campbell's must have noticed my pending ennui , pandemic or age related. or both. the cans of BwB soup I initially got for several months needed a can opener ( from Target , via free 2-day ) I must have completely bought out Campbell's stock during the early pandemic now they come w a ' pull-tops ! ' really they do ! save me energy and time. go figure. but im pacing myself for a Blitz to RocheBro or Tj's thinking of making beef+pork meatballs , italian style : flat leaf fresh parsley , Parmesan-ish ( very small cubes ) eggs , Penzey's Tuscan Sunset https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/tuscan-sunset/c-24/p-319/pd-s ( for the hint of anise ) and then poaching the MB's in jarred marinara sauce SV @ 130 F for several hours individual large servings /bag. Ill splurge and get the jared sauce with crushed tomatoes as the initial ingredient , not tomato paste. big difference in the two types. then rest up for a few months.

@md8232 looks like a fine deal , and about 1/2 the weight of the VP215. the Chanber also looks like it has more depth than the VP215 a nice feature if you are Vac'ing liquids. or marinating w/o needing a final seal. pair this w an Anova Steam Oven and you are out only $ 1,200 such a deal !

@btbyrd "" cooking certain proteins in nonstick pans can produce tastier meat, as it gets covered with its own "fond" and browns more deeply. I wouldn't want to make a pan sauce in there afterwards though. "" "" I wouldn't want to make a pan sauce in there afterwards though. " Why not ? I do it all the time. """ the pan sauce is clearly going to be inferior in flavor to one produced in a pan that has more fond. "" no , not really , when the sauce goes on the meant in the end one always adds flavor to the fond for the sauce there is some flavor left in the pan , and thus the sauce is up to you in any pan do you make Soup out of the Pan fond sauce ? then OK, its a bit weak. b ut you pour it over the more mall airy meat and then that sauce adds to the total taste.
